Madonna tweeted, "rest in peace," and included a link to a YouTube video of her performing "Future Lovers." The song off Madonna's 2005 "Confessions on a Dancefloor" album was influenced by Summer's "I Feel Love."

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama said their thoughts and prayers were with Summer's family and fan, The Associated Press reported.

Questlove of the Roots wrote on Twitter that, "I know that the whole 'disco sucks' stuff left a bad taste in the mouths of some. But Summer's work was really a credible legacy."

Elton John said Summer deserved to have been inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame when she was living.

"Her records sound as good today as they ever did," he told the AP in a statement. "That she has never been inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame is a total disgrace especially when I see the second-rate talent that has been inducted. She is a great friend to me and to the Elton John AIDS Foundation and I will miss her greatly."

Gloria Estefan wrote that "few singers have impated music & the world" like Summer. "Peace & prayers 2 all who loved her. I will miss her," she tweeted.

“Woah! donna summer gone to the great beyond !!! chuck brown then donna summer they're gonna be dancing in heaven!!! i love donna summer RIP” Flea wrote on Twitter.

Kylie Minogue wrote on Twitter that Summer was "one of my earliest musical inspirations."

"RIP Donna Summer #BadGirlsForEver," she wrote.
